Padron 1926 Maduro Cigar Review

Cigar Review - Padron 1926 Maduro
Date smoked: May 26, 2023
Padron 1926 Serie #2 Maduro
Belicoso 5-1/2 inches x 52 gauge

Notes:
- At about $20 per stick, the Padron 1926 #2 Maduro is a high price tag, but worth it for a superior smoke in every respect.
- Draw, burn, construction and taste all as close to perfection as one can expect.
- Flavor profile is quintessential Maduro: some wood flavor (oak), tempered by strong coffee and chocolate overtones, with enough spice to make things interesting.
- Boldness is 9.5/10 - there are fuller body cigars, but the full body on the Padron 1926 is balanced by smooth flavors.
- Overall enjoyment, this is a rare 10/10. I've had a number of expensive cigars, but few of them reach the point of perfection as the Padron 1926.
